Giving this range 2 stars due to poor customer service. My friend , his girlfriend, and I have been to this range twice. and could not get in to shoot because it was closed. The first time is understandable, because we were unable to get there until 7:50 and doory s were locked becaused they close at 8. Tonight we went earlier, got there at 7:09 and the doors were locked. WE checked the sign on the door and it said close time is 8. A lady came to the doro and told us they dont admit after 7 but she would check. A man then came to the door and said the same thing, that they dont admit after 7 because they close at 8 and only charge by the hour. When I pointed out that they have posted 1/2 hour rates, he looked annoyed and said not after 6. this is not posted anywhere. after he made it clear we couldnt shoot he gave a sarcastic smile and said have a nice day. Now there is a new web site, but this was not up as of the last time we were there 2 weeks ago. I feel this is not the way to treat customers when your trying to build up a business. Apparently they have plenty and dont need our business. All we wanted was a 1/2 hour of shooting. were taking our business to North shore. Thier a litle more expensive, but treated us much better. read more

I was super nervous on my way over here because this was only my second time shooting (and the first was during a class with an instructor by my side). My bf and I walked in and we were helped out immediately. I didn't know what I wanted to shoot so the staff jumped right in and started offering recommendations. I expressed my concerns about not having a clue what I was doing and Greg offered to come out and assist us. He ensured that we felt comfortable, offered suggestions and even let us try out his equipment. This was definitely a memorable experience and I look forward to coming back soon. read more

Wow, about time we had a state of the art, well run, and full service training, shooting, shopping range and club on the North shore. Hats off to the management team in assembling such a terrific concept and bringing it to reality. Although the club is not fully built out (the range and store is completely operational) I can see myself and my friends really enjoying GTR. I spent several hours meeting the staff and firing a variety of calibers at the range last week. The ventilation, targeting systems, instructors and facility is extremely secure and first rate, even at this early stage. Highly recommend you consider visiting whether you are a beginner or expert. I am looking forward to using my membership and bringing my friends often. Once the restaurant and social areas of the club are complete, the attraction of the Club will even be stronger. Suggest those looking for membership visit early before they fill up, prices rise and management needs to start a waiting list read more

Use to be where you could double tap and do some drills, but now under the new management, this place is just another range. Save some money and go to Bass Pro. read more

My goal is to purchase a firearm, go through the CCW training, and be a responsible gun owner. I really had no experience with a firearm before entering this store. I learned the best way to accomplish this goal is to try different firearms in the range to find out which is the best fit for me. I could not use the range myself until I receive a state of IL issued FOID card. Jordan from the store offered to spend time with me in the range. I was a bit taken back by one of his first questions; "are you going to shoot me"? I don't know what my mannerisms were or what I said to warrant a question like that. If Jordan was kidding it wasn't very funny. It got much better after that. Jordan was very helpful and patient with me as a ground floor beginner. I learned a lot from, gave me some great advice and confidence going forward. Jordan spent time with me in range helping me handle and fire. I have now applied for my FOID card and looking forward to the next step. I'll be going back to this store. read more

I took my family shooting for the first time. What a great experience. The staff there was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I can't wait to go back. Thanks Jordan for a fun time. read more

Went for for the first time today and was greeted by Bobby right away. As a first time visitor he showed me what I needed to do to register. Range was clean and had clean air. Modern targeting systems. Once you're done for the day they have a hand washing station so you can clean up. Nice prices as well. After that you can have lunch at Frankies right at the range. Great food. read more

Best place in town, range rates are good, people are great, pricing on firearm purchases are good, been shooting for a year and a half, would not go anywhere else. Is there a 10 star rateing? read more

I became a memeber early December, things were still not finished but it was obvious to me that they have a good thing going. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help. The viewing lounge is great as well as the range lanes. I'm looking forward to the league's forming soon. Anyone using other ranges in the area will find a great place that exceeds expectations, those new to the sport will find helpful staff and a great place to start out. Great place, I love it! read more

Let's start off by saying that this isn't a review about the Range Quality itself. GTR has a nice facility when it comes to the range, lanes, and the programmable target carriers. The issue is the customer service, selection of fire arms, and quality of the products they sell. There employees are dazed and confused, went in on a Sunday, there was miss communication about where to send people to shoot handguns, rifles, and shot guns. No one smiled, no one had any positive emotion of inflection in demeanor when speaking with Customers. I've workef Retail management for a decade, I've seen better customer service at a drive through when I was spending $2.95 on a cheese burger. No let's talk about their gun selection for purchase. There isn't one, they have maybe 20-30 handguns and rifles displayed and everything is more expensive than at other local gun dealers. Now for the real reason I'm giving GTR a 1/5 review. I purchased 200 rounds of their remanufactured target range ammo, it's was $0.30 cents a round, I can go buy new stuff for $0.25. It is not military spec and it coated in some awful green paint or polymer. It's dirty and smokes like a coal train. Let's not forget it's not Lead or Copper, it's some super stiff metal. After 200 my S&W M&P Pro Core 9mm started to keyhole. I go home take apart the gun and 50% of the rifling in the barrel is damaged. I couldn't #$&%ING believe it. I take it to two different gun Smiths, and sure as shit the barrel is destroyed. I had 5000 rounds through the gun, and never had an issue, I clean is after every range day and at most I put 300 rounds through it in a day. Not even a full 200, rounds of GTRs green reman 9mm and my S&W is destroyed. I have to send it out and have it looked at by Smith and I'm expecting to pay hundreds to get this fixed. By no means should you buy these stuff. Honestly just avoid GTR, take the extra time and drive to Maxon in Des Plaines, range isn't as new or nice but they are friendly and don't sell stuff they don't personally stand behind. read more

With the tinted windows, I thought this place was closed the first time I stopped by. But no... I wandered in to find a top quality range. Well-lit and well-ventilated, with easy to use touchscreen monitors at each lane to control your target. At $15 for a half-hour, it's quite reasonably priced to send some lead downrange. Three different bays with 22 lanes keep things moving even on a crowded day. The range officers are there to keep things safe, without being complete jerks like the hotheads you see at some ranges. You may even get some pointers from the guys; Julio noticed me pause to assess my target and offered some tips that instantly made a difference. I hadn't signed up for a lesson or anything, he's just genuinely helpful... and that's pretty typical of what you'll experience. Angel in the armory has a tremendous amount of experience to offer as well. If you're considering a Glock, ask him about the GSSF offerings which can save you a ton. Needed a new set of sights installed... he took care of that for me while I waited and for half the price of the next place on my list. On the other hand, FFL transfer pricing seems to be way out of whack at $60... more than twice what you'll find most other places. Training is also a bit on the expensive side. But you can't beat this place for some range time. read more
